I've had these little white spots or bumps on the inside of my thighs for about 10 days now, and they're super itchy. I've tried using calamine lotion, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. They aren't exactly pimples, just these annoying white spots. Any idea what might be causing this or how I can get some relief?

Based on your description, a fungal infection like tinea cruris or irritation from sweatfriction is likely. Start with an antifungal cream and maintain good hygiene. If it doesnt improve within a week or worsens, consult a dermatologist for a precise diagnosis and stronger medications,

I've been using glocin gel as prescribed for about a month now, applying it twice daily. I'm just wondering if I should keep using it for another month or if it's okay to stop at this point. What do you suggest?

As you have been using Glocin gel for almost one month, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the duration of treatment. In general, for conditions like acne, it is common to continue using topical treatments like Glocin gel for at least 8-12 weeks to see optimal results. However, since individual cases may vary, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if you should continue using the gel for another month or if it is appropriate to stop at this time.
